So is the Lame-O who voted for Magnussen going to reveal himself/herself?

Not me, I went for Ricciardo.

[Frontrunner]

Easy vote for me, Danny Ricc.

Welp... looks like this is yet another competition Lewis is winning.

Not yet...Riccy is right behind with new tyres on and Roth hasn't voted yet.

I voted for Daniel Ricciardo because he has put his four time world championship winning team mate in the shade, while being the only non-Mercedes driver to win a race, two races in fact. Lewis has done well but given the dominance of his Mercedes team, I couldn't give the nod to Hamilton over Ricciardo!

He goes missing sometimes, I'm taking a look at the entire season, he either trounces his team mate and gives a stellar performance, or he struggles and comes up behind him. Not just on race day but also in qualifying. When he's on it clearly shows and there's an entirely different comfort level in the driving. It's difficult to determine what's the car and what's him though.

In the early season I think the Williams had a very small operating window, look at the massive performance difference between Malaysia and Oz. LAter on they seem to have a more stable and consistent car, that's where I base my view off anyway as we can see the driver over the car issues. Which is why Alonso and Ric are also way up there in my drivers of the year.

Not tellin who I voted for, it's secret! But I'll give you a clue, it was one of my favourite two drivers!

[RyRy]

It's so close between Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Ricciardo, who are then in my opinion followed by Bottas and Alonso

I'm good RC, but I wouldn't compare myself to Lewis.

You reckon! I had you right up there WB!

Since Button's not an option I plumped for Lewis, he's done remarkably well despite his health problems.

He was finally diagnosed with black?

Here are my top three votes...

Lewis Hamilton - There is no denying that this man is a legend in F1 and that he could possibly well be a Champion again by the end of the year. Don't base this on British favours, no...Otherwise Max Chilton would be up there (LOOOOL). Anyways, the reason why I chose Lewis is because he has had a story of ups and downs but has mainly seen ups from him, even when the odds were against him. He had a winning streak. This past weekend proved a big deal on his confidence when it comes to coming back. Pitlane to battling for 1st...What a drive. Granted that the second half of the season could be similar for Nico, but either way, Lewis earns top marks during the first half

Daniel Ricciardo - In Silverstone 2013, Mark Webber announced his retirement and that left millions wondering who could play second fiddle to Seb? Turns out nobody because throughout this season, Daniel Ricciardo has decimated the focus of the four time World Champion. Even when Vettel would out-qualify him, most races sees Ricciardo outperforming his champion team-mate such as Silverstone and Hungary. I didn;t expect this guy to rise up in the ranks so quickly and with the first half of the season gone, Ricciardo not only has two wins under his belt but is the ONLY guy to beat the Mercs

Valtteri Bottas - Surprised? Don't be. This young driver who made his debut last year has shown to the world that he is a future World Champion in F1. I see great things in him and has beaten his veteran team-mate multiple times (However some can argue that isn't really big). Frank saw great things for him and he was right.

[LRW]

Was it really only last year that Bottas started. Wow. I would in no way class him a 'rookie' but I still would drivers such as Maldonado or JEV. Strange.
